Eastern concluded its review of the “Barn Party” incident involving Phi Beta Sigma fraternity,
and a suspension of the fraternity until the spring
semester of 2019 will be upheld and effective immediately.
Pat Early, the assistant vice president of communications, marketing and brand strategies, sent
out a press release Thursday saying the recommendation of the Student Standards Board that the

fraternity did violate the Student Conduct Code
has been upheld and the fraternity has been suspended until the conclusion of the spring semester of 2019.
The release also stated that at the end of the suspension the fraternity could request consideration
for reinstatement.
In addition to the suspension, the fraternity must complete 300 hours of community service in Charleston and pay restitution of $2,000
to Charleston.
The review of the “Barn Party” incident includ-

ed a hearing by the Student Standards Board and
a subsequent appeal.
President Bill Perry said in the release the full
appeals process has now been completed and the
fraternity has received official notice of its suspension, which takes effect immediately.
“The vast majority of our students work hard
in their academic programs and participate in the
community in a very positive fashion,” Perry said
in the release. “But, occasionally we see behavior
which we cannot condone and will not tolerate.
When that happens, we have a responsibility to

take firm action in response.”
The conclusion of the appeals process comes a
few days after a petition for an appeal of the suspension began circulating online, through The Petition Site website.
In the petition, which, as of press time had 834
electronic signatures, the authors called for an appeal on the grounds of the sanction being inappropriate for the violation.

Pemberton frightens for philanthropy

By Jarad Jarmon
Student Governance Editor | @DEN_News

Students go through
haunted house
for Halloween
Students and others around the community spilled outside of the Pemberton Hall
Main Entrance in order to encounter monsters at the haunted house Thursday.
The Pemberton Hall Council wanted to
stray away from the ghost stories, which surrounded the building allure, but nevertheless
succeeded in striking fear in some of those
who took a tour through the basement.
In groups of six, students who participated
after signing a waiver would first go through
the elevator doors leading them through the
main hall of the basement, which was filled
with blood-crazed butchers, terribly-unfunny clowns and recently-arising zombies.
The tour would roughly take four to five
minutes to go through and make it to the
end.
Some students like Jada Swendsen, a sophomore family and consumer sciences major,
found the elevator ride down to be the scariest part of the entire tour.
The basement itself added to some of the
allure for the haunted tour. Swendsen said
she found the basement added to the scenes.
Clowns got the best of some students like
Megan Maybell, a junior family and consumer sciences major, who said the clowns
got her to scream easily.
“I just don’t do clowns,” Maybell said.
Jordan Brown, a senior family and consumer sciences major, who helped in planning the haunted house, said it took roughly seven hours across three days to set up the
scenes.

K atie Smith | The Daily Eastern Ne ws

Students wait in an elevator with an elevator attendant wearing a metallic skull mask to descend into the Pemberton basement for Pit of
Despair Thursday. Participants had to pay $2 or donate a canned food for admittance.

The Pemberton Resident Assistants helped
out in the basement, playing as the clowns,
butchers and zombies.
The clowns would be popping balloons
while the zombies would be rattling chains
and stomping on floor boards to instill fear
into those who would pass by.
Students would pay $2 or a can of nonperishable food.
The proceeds from the night would all go
to the Public Action to Deliver Shelter in
Mattoon.

The shelter operates as an emergency shelter and a soup kitchen for those who do not
have homes.
Paul Rilett, the executive director of the
shelter, said he hoped to see more canned
vegetables because they are hard to come by.
The money raised will go toward their
capital building campaign.
“Right now, we a currently trying to work
on getting a new building,” Rilett said. “We
only have 16 beds, and this year we have had
to turn away a bunch of families because we

don’t have the space.”
He said he was excited because after 30
minutes, the people handing out safety waivers ran out of the 150 waivers they had on
the desk.

The Charleston Police Department is
currently investigating multiple reports
of counterfeited money throughout
the Charleston area over the last several days.
The bills, which are primarily $10s
and $20s, have been circulating through
businesses throughout Charleston this

week.
Lt. Brad Oyer of the Charleston Police Department said he could not confirm exactly how many bills had been
retrieved, though he said the amount
indicate there are likely more circulating
throughout the community.
Oyer said his department was very
committed to apprehending the person
responsible for the forgeries, noting the
severity of the crime often necessitates

involvement from the Secret Service.
“Our goal is to make the community
aware of the problem,” he said. “This is
a very serious crime, and we are looking
into it very seriously.”
According to a press release issued
by the Charleston Police Department
Thursday, the bills can be identified by
their lack of reflective characteristics, as
well as other discrepancies that have not
been released at this time.

“The most obvious indication these
bills are counterfeit is the Lady Liberty torch and the number ‘10’ on the
10 dollar bills, and the eagle and number ‘20’ on the 20 dollar bills are supposed to have a reflective characteristic,”
the press release stated. “These reflective
areas are generally located on the front
of the bill toward the bottom right side.
These reflective characteristics do not
show up on the counterfeit bills.”

The police department has encouraged all individuals and local businesses to pay special attention to cash payments, as well as to mark any bills to
ensure their authenticity.
Those who find counterfeit money
are encouraged to keep the bill and report it to the Charleston Police, as well
as try to remember any descriptive information of the individual.

Night assistants and their supervisors take watch over residence halls
from midnight until 4 a.m. to make
sure the halls stay peaceful and safe.
They offer assistance to students
throughout the night.
Night Assistant Coordinator Abby
Ford said the night assistants are the
extra set of eyes that look over the
residence halls.
“We sit in the halls waiting to be
the proactive resource for students
at night,” she said. “We watch over
the halls and make sure nothing gets
damaged.”
Ford said night assistants make
sure students who are walking
around at night are fine, and they
might even talk with those passing
by.
They interact with residents as
they come and go, saying hello and
ask how their night is going.
“A night assistant sits in a designated location in each residence
hall,” Ford said.
Shavon Goner, a sophomore kinesiology and sports studies major, said
the hours she works gives her time to
catch up with her studies.
“Being a night assistant, I get extra
time to do homework, and it is nice
to have students come to me as a resource,” Goner said.
As coordinator, Ford is the one
who makes the schedules for all the
workers and oversees them to make
sure they are doing their job.
Matthew Horacek, a sophomore
history major, said he finds much to
appreciate about the night assistant
position.
“It can be fun, exciting and unpredictable,” he said. “You get a
good sense that you are doing something good for the school as well. Just
knowing things are safe, and this is
kind of preparation to the next part
of my life as a police officer.”
However, like any job, he shares
some negative effects of the position
as well.
“I do lose some sleep and some
nights can be rougher than ever,”

he said. “Also, when there is a serious situation, it can be dangerous for
me.”
Horacek became a night assistant
this semester and he said a major part
of his job was to make sure students
get to their residence halls safely.
“If someone comes in late at night
and they are tipsy, I have to help
them get to their dorm safely,” he
said. “If someone falls asleep in the
lobby, I will wake them up and tell
them they need to go to their dorm.
I’m usually doing my homework or
getting other stuff done when nothing is happening.”
The night assistants answer to their
supervisors whenever they have a
question about something, but it is
their responsibility to report to them
about it.
“They visit each of the night assistants for a few minutes at a time
to check in on how their night is going,” Ford said. “They also complete
continuous outside rounds to keep

an eye on the exterior of buildings
and throughout campus.”
The supervisors also get involved
when a situation escalates out of the
night assistants' control.
“They usually have a good sense of
what they are doing,” Horacek said.
“There hasn’t been a time where they
didn’t know what to do.”
Kali Drews, a senior communication studies major, is one of the supervisors on campus and she shares
some positive and negative aspects of
the job.
“I was a night assistant, and then
I eventually became a supervisor,”
she said. “I like the aspect of socializing with the staff. One thing I had to
overcome was learning how to implement different policies.”
Brianna DeMarco, a junior special
education major, is also one of the
supervisors who is usually in charge
of checking the North and South
quad.
“At night, (supervisors) disperse to

oversee each quad,” Demarco said.
Ford also said the night assistants
and supervisors are selected each semester and they usually change about
once or twice because of scheduling
conflicts or some other problem.
There are a total of 24 night assistants along with six supervisors
that facilitate all the halls and Greek
Court throughout the campus at
night.
“For night assistants, I look for
students that are confident and outgoing enough to be willing and able
to interact with residents as they
come and go from the residence
halls,��� Ford said. “I look for night assistants that exhibit strong leadership
characteristics, a strong knowledge of
the program and a desire to do more
within the program.”

Student-directed plays to reflect relatable issues
By Paul Durante
Staff Reporter | @DEN_News
Trying their hands at directing, three
senior theatre arts majors will bring to
life three one-act plays from Tennessee Williams.
Each of the plays that are to be
brought to life on the Eastern stage
are works of the playwright Tennessee
Williams and will feature an ensemble
of eight actors who will perform in all
three productions.
For Richard Gus, a theatre arts major, this marks his directorial debut,
and said there have been new difficul-

ties he faced leading a production.
“My biggest challenge has been reassuring myself that I have the knowledge and confidence to direct people,”
Gus said.
He chose to direct the play, “These
are the Stairs You Got to Watch.”
The play is set in New Orleans in the
year 1945 and takes place in a declining opera house.
Bill Stinde, a theatre major, is also
making his directorial debut, and for
his play, he chose to direct “Pink Bedroom.”
“It’s not told from a typical point
of view. There is a surprise,” Stinde

said.
The story takes place in St. Louis in
1926, but the time period and location are inconsequential, Stinde said
the focus is on the characters.
“It’s the story of these two imperfect beings,” Stinde said.
The third play, “The Long Goodbye,” is directed by Miranda Buob, a
theatre arts and English major.
The play takes place outside of St.
Louis in the year 1938, in a lowerclass suburb.
According to Buob, the story is
about moving forward, letting go of
the past and learning from decisions.

This is Buob’s second time directing, and noted her biggest challenge
this time around was stepping outside
of her comfort zone.
Despite the challenges of directing,
all three of the student directors said
they were excited by the opportunity.
“These plays will show that no
matter what the time period, the issues are still the same,” Buob said.
The shows will take place on a singular rotating set with slight modifications that will make it suitable for
all three of the plays.
William Richardson, a senior theatre arts major, is in charge of set de-

sign for these productions.
“The idea is to make a world that
looks perfect for these plays,” Richardson said.
The three one-act plays, directed by
Gus, Stinde and Buob, will be Nov.
15 – 17. The Nov. 15 and 16 shows
will be at 7:30 p.m. in the Black Box
Theatre of the Doudna Fine Arts
Center. The Nov. 17 show will be at 2
p.m., also in the Black Box Theatre of
the Doudna.

Civilized is just
a word: a look
at N.A. History
The Trail of Tears is one of the most devastating
periods of Native American culture in history. It
was a time of great turmoil and President Andrew
Jackson is almost wholly responsible for the treatment of Native Americans in the early 1830s, forcibly relocating hundreds of thousands of Native
Americans. This is just one of many terrible, but
important events throughout relations with Native
Americans.
It is important when looking at the Native
American culture to understand that many of
the freedoms that several other races in the United States have had and still have were almost completely stripped from Native Americans even starting in the early 1700s, late 1600s when European settlers first set foot on this continent. America was more or less an agricultural haven for the
Native American and while warring Indian tribes
did exist, more conflict erupted between European settlers than any other blood feud that previously existed.
The idea that these indigenous peoples were
uncivilized is an abstract notion that cannot be
supported as a legitimate means to pacify a unique
culture and experience. Even today, while many
Native Americans still live on reservations, they are
all regarded as cultural treasures having originally conceived an oral culture of telling stories and
passing those stories down through generations. In
several international conflicts, most notably World
War II, their use of Indian languages (via Navajo
code talkers) was incredibly important to mask our
objectives and strategies from enemy combatants.
More importantly, the study of the Native
American culture through films has enabled a
resurgence in environmental awareness and reconnecting a relationship in our modern day and age
with the wilderness and its natural surroundings.
Films including “Pocahantas” and “Avatar” have
been said to include lots of imagery reminiscent of
this culture and can further educate our youth the
importance of other general concepts such as family and peace.
While there are certainly aspects of all cultures
which can and most likely will seem foreign to us,
it is important as Americans to express gratitude
and interest in these cultures which make up the
multi-cultural experience in our country and further inspire us in everything from environmental
awareness to foreign policy regarding indigenous
peoples as well as immigration reform.

Today’s quote:
"Certain things catch your eye, but
pursue only those that capture the
heart."

The curtains are drawn back, the music begins
to play and the show opens. Usually he would
show up someplace in the woods, in a nice relaxing armchair, several feet underground. Though
occasionally, he would challenge someone to a
test of wits and meet them, burrowing underneath the ground. Hunters, cowboys, opera singers, ducks, he would best them all; with a charismatic grin, a dash of self-awareness, and a carrot,
followed by the words:
“Eh, what’s up doc?”
Even now, I still remember a myriad of adventures of the sensational, fantastic, outrageous
character of Bugs Bunny. Arguably the greatest “Looney Tunes” character of all time, (though
not the first, Porky Pig alone holds that honor) there is no doubt in my mind that as a young
boy, I needed that comedic caricature of a rabbit
as an informal guide to my future endeavors as
class clown and later as a comedian.
But 50 years ago, Warner Bros. almost did
away with that “wascaly wabbit” and produced
what seemed like the last bugs bunny cartoon
ever in the short, “False Hare.” For 16 years, there
were no new cartoons produced involving Bugs
Bunny or using the oh-so-familiar intro and end

Sean Copeland
credit from the original “Looney Tunes” shorts.
This means that for a whole generation of
kids there was no Bugs Bunny. Oh sure, syndication was still around, but nothing like waiting for that new cartoon every Saturday morning eating Lucky Charms cereal with a remote in
one hand fervently hoping for some new spontaneous eruption of jokes and laughter to occur. In
addition, as this was presented as a short as well
as Bugs’ last appearance, Bugs didn’t make a film
appearance until 1990.
Moreover, this was an end to the Golden Age
of Animation, a period of more than 30 years
showcasing Walt Disney’s “Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs,” Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny,
Daffy Duck, Popeye and even Tom & Jerry. This

was so many children’s childhoods and yet in an
instant it almost went away forever, eliminating
what was Mickey Mouse’s role to Disney as Bugs
Bunny’s role to Warner Bros.
But it didn’t happen. Bugs Bunny came back
in more cartoons starting in 1980 and went on
to be included in the half cartoon/cgi-live action
“Looney Tunes” feature film “Space Jam” starring
Michael Jordan and Bill Murray.
This was always something that had been
ingrained me since I was a little kid. My father
explained what the future would remember of
the past regardless of politics, famine, or religion:
“People will always remember The Beatles,
James Bond, and Bugs Bunny.”
So in honor of Bugs Bunny, we remember
what has come in the world of entertainment
thanks to his sarcasm, physical humor, and occasional crossdressing; and remember his legacy
among animation and culture throughout history.
As Porky Pig would say, “That’s All Folks!”

‘Beatlemania,’ still strong 50 years later

Fifty years ago today, a man stood waiting on
his flight in London’s Heathrow airport. Hearing
loud screams, he turned and was amazed to see
hundreds of people storming the tarmac screaming, shouting, and waiving their hands. Alarmed,
he asked what was going on that was causing
such a scene. The man was then told that a British boys band was returning home from a tour of
Sweden. Fascinated that a group of four young
men could attract so many fans and members of
the press to the airport, he began to seek them
out in an attempt to get them to appear on his
American late night variety show.
Four short months later, The Beatles appeared
on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” officially kicking off
the British pop invasion and the American waive
of ‘Beatlemania.’ Ringo Starr, George Harrison,
Paul McCartney and John Lennon, all just in
their early 20s, took American popular culture by
storm, selling more records than thought humanly possible. With their upbeat, peppy rock/pop
songs they had people all over the United States
as well as the British Isles up and dancing.
Lunch boxes, bobble-heads, wigs, and of
course, records were all available for the public
to consume and consume they did. The Beatles
first single, “Love Me Do,” which promptly went
straight to number one on the American pop

Taylor Davis
music charts, “Introducing… The Beatles’ was
their first American LP and in its first year it sold
more than 1.3 million copies. “Love Me Do” was
so successful that it being at the top of the charts
was the only thing that stopped The Beatles next
hit “I Want To Hold Your Hand” from going
straight to the top of the charts on it’s first day
available to the public.
When the “Fab Four” set out on their 2nd
American tour they may have never imagined
that they would have to be transported to and
from venues by helicopters and a Wells Fargo
armored bank truck.
On Aug. 15, 1965, with 2,000 security guards
present The Beatles performed to 55,000 screaming people at New York City’s Shea Stadium. The
world had never witnessed anything like this. The
Beatles pulled in more fans than the stadium’s

home team, the Mets, commonly did.
They made an estimated $304,000 in one
night, more than any entertainment group had ever
even considered feasible. This paved the way for
future stadium concerts by proving that they could
not only be entertaining but lucrative as well.
On Aug. 29, 1966 the Beatles performed their
last live stateside performance in San Francisco’s
Candlestick Park for a crowd of 25,000. Retiring from touring at that point the Beatles took
to working solely on studio recordings. Many
assumed this to be the end of The Beatles popularity, however as time moved forward, The Beatles only continued to gather more fans.
On Sept. 9, 2009 “The Beatles Rockband”
videogame came out to huge success. It seems
that despite the absence of two of the members
the Beatles success is something that cannot be
measured in dollars earned or tickets sold, but
should instead be measured by hearts and souls
that they have touched.
Although they will never fill the seats of Shea
Stadium The Beatles live on in ways that we will
continue to see and feel for the rest of our lives.

Michael Kleen, a former Eastern student, presents "The Legend of Pemberton Hall and
Other Local Ghost Stories" in t

In the petitioned appeal, they asked
for the five-year suspension, the 300hour community service requirement, the $2,000 fine and the demand they move out of Greek
Court be “immediately, and forever vacated.”
Along with those requests, the
petition also asked to reinstate Dajon Sherman and Jajuan Jefferies as
students with good standings.
The press release did not reference the two men mentioned in the
petition.
The “Barn Party” incident took
place on Sept. 15, after an almost
1,000-person party allegedly hosted
by Phi Beta Sigma ended in gunshots. Two gunshot victims and one
battery victim were transported to
Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center.
A subsequent pause on late-night
on-campus parties was lifted after
new policies went into effect, centering on how ticket distribution
was handled.
The Charleston Police Department is still investigating the incident.

Students play Bingo amid Halloween theme

By Marcus Curtis
Entertainment Editor
@DEN_News
The Halloween-themed Bingo and
trivia game night Thursday, hosted by
the University Board’s Special Events
section, ended in a big win for a few students while other students went home
empty handed.
What started out as a room full of
eight people at 7 p.m. turned into a
room of 20-plus people after five more

minutes in 7th Street Underground.
There were Bingo boards, popcorn
balls, pretzels, soda pop and candy bags
to fit the theme for Halloween waiting
on a table for participants in the game
night.
The scene was a dimly lit Seventh Underground in the basement of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
The room was draped in faux spider
webs, spooky but decorative skulls and
large faux spiders.
Amongst the big winners at the game

night was George Woodard, a junior
psychology major, and Logan Johnson,
a senior recreation administration major, who was also the first winner of the
night.
Johnson and Woodard were part
of the party of four that took home all
of the big prizes, including a crockpot,
a blender, a DVD player and a coffee
maker.
In addition to the big prizes the party won, they also won packages that included movies and popcorn.

Woodard said he and his friends were
going to take their prizes home and use
them for a gathering to help celebrate his
birthday.
To compliment the Halloween theme
was the sounds of Michael Jackson’s song
“Thriller” and Kanye West’s “Monster”
coming through two large speakers.

ern Kentucky at the OVC Championships. Bryce Basting and Pablo
Ramirez each finished first team allconference, while Danny Delaney finished second team all-conference.
The women’s team finished third
behind both Belmont and Eastern
Kentucky. It was led by first-teamers
Olivia Klaus and Britney Whitehead,
who have since graduated from Eastern.
Rain is expected for Saturday’s
forecast with temperatures hovering
near 50 degrees. The team will have
nearly two weeks off before their next
meet at Iowa State University.

The Eastern hockey club will travel out of state this weekend for a twogame series with Louisville this Friday and Saturday at the Iceland Sports
Complex in Louisville.
The first game will start at 10 p.m.
Friday, followed by the second at 7
p.m. on Saturday.
The Panthers won the second game
of their series Saturday with Northern
Illinois, making it the team’s first win
since the season opener against Bradley.
The team’s six goals in last Saturday’s
win were the most for the team all season. Senior Zack Yurchak led Eastern
with two goals in the win. Senior Andrew Teske and sophomore Zack Peifer
split time in goal for the Panthers last
weekend.
The Panthers enter with a record
of 2-9, snapping a nine-game losing
streak dating back to Sept. 20.
Louisville enters with a record of
7-7-1, coming off two straight losses to
Davenport.
Louisville and the Eastern have
had one common opponent this season. Louisville played Missouri in the
D2 Showcase in Kalamazoo, Mich.,
on Oct. 11, losing by a score of 8-1.
Eastern did not have much luck against
Missouri either, losing two games
against the Tigers by scores of 6-3 and
8-2. Both games were on the road.
Louisville’s freshman David
Bechard, a transfer from Williston
State College in North Dakota, leads
the team in goals this season with seven.
The two teams squared off last season at the Panthers’ home ice in Danville, losing the first game 5-4 but winning the second game 3-0.
Eastern will return home next weekend for a series against Eastern Kentucky.

Panthers prepare for OVC championships
By Blake Nash
Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports
The Eastern men’s and women’s
cross country teams will compete in
the Ohio Valley Conference Championships this weekend.
Saturday the team will travel to
Morehead, Ky., for one of its biggest
meets of the season.
The team appears to be focused
and excited for this meet, coach Erin
Howarth said.
“We are extremely excited for this
meet,” Howarth said. “We have one
shot to make all-conference since we
don’t compete against most conference opponents throughout the season like most sports do.”
Every runner on the team has had

»

at least one outstanding race this season, but not everyone has raced great
on the same day, Howarth said.
“That’s our goal for this Saturday,
and if that happens the results will be
what we want them to be,” Howarth
said.
Since this race features only conference opponents, the field is expected to be smaller, something Howarth
and her team look forward to this
weekend.
“In a smaller race where everyone
can see each other, it makes it easier to help each other out,” Howarth
said.
During bigger races this season it
has become easy for the runners to
get lost, lose sight of teammates, or
to get injured, Howarth said, but

she knows that will not happen this
weekend.
All 12 teams in the OVC will be
competing, including Eastern Kentucky men’s and women’s teams,
which combined, has won seven total
championships in the last four years.
There is one women’s and one
men’s race scheduled for the day. The
top eight will then be scored for their
respective schools.
One of the main goals for both the
men’s and women’s team is to finish
in the top 14, which is where the allconference rankings begin, Howarth
said. Both teams have healthy runners one through eight on target for
this meet.
Last season, the Panther men finished second overall behind East-

Eastern and Fort Wayne are the
only teams in the Summit League
that have only one game remaining.
Every other squad has two matches
left on the conference schedule.
The Panthers will need Western Illinois to lose both of its remaining
conference matches while Omaha
must pick up a win and a draw in order to overtake Eastern in the league
standings with help from the goal differential tie breaker.
A victory for Western against IUPUI or Denver will effectively eliminate Eastern from contention. Both
Denver and IUPUI are currently

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8
ranked ahead of Western on the table.
If Western were to draw 0-0 in
one match and then lose in the other,
Eastern would have to win by eight
goals over Omaha.
The fate of Howarth’s team is not
in their hands and the Eastern alumnus knows his team needs assistance
to make a run at the Summit League
postseason title on Nov. 17.
“At least the ball is in our court, a
little bit,” Howarth said. “We may
have to depend on what happens in
some of the other games, but if we
don’t win it doesn’t matter.”
Omaha has struggled to find the

back of the net this season. The Mavericks have scored 11 goals, less than
one per match. The team’s leading
goal scorer is junior midfielder Vance
Rookwood who has scored three
times.
The Panthers have three players at
or above that total.
The match will begin 11:30 a.m.
at Lakeside Field. That Panthers will
wrap up their regular season schedule
at home against Bradley on Tuesday.

“Darian Stone was giving us fits
and it was his first start, and it took
our defense a little while to adjust
to him,” Babers said. “He can beat
you with his and with his arm and
he can be very dangerous.”
Stone’s previous game against
Jacksonville State saw him run the
ball 20 times for 79 yards, both
team-highs for Tennessee Tech.
Senior defensive tackle Jon Voytilla said the Panthers simply have to
treat their assignment just like any
other week.
“As defensive lineman, we just
have to get off the ball, play hard

and play until the whistle blows; if
we do that we shouldn’t have any
problem stopping (Stone),” Voytilla said.
The Eastern defensive line is led
by sixth-year senior Pat Wertz, who
has a team-high 5.5 sacks.
Kickoff is scheduled for noon on

Eastern
to host
OVC foes
By Anthony Catezone
Sports Editor | @AnthonyCatz
The Eastern volleyball team enters
the weekend with a chance to clinch an
Ohio Valley Conference record above
.500 for the first time in eight years.
The Panthers, who are 7-3 in the
OVC, have six conference games remaining and four consecutive home
games.
Eastern will host Tennessee-Martin
and Southeast Missouri this weekend,
the same two teams it opened its OVC
schedule on the road with in late September.
Eastern split its weekend matches to
open the conference schedule, beating
Tennessee-Martin and after losing to
Southeast Missouri.
The Panthers swept the Skyhawks
(25-22, 25-21, 25-14). They dominated the match, as it featured just eight ties
and three lead changes in the three sets
total.
But Eastern began the OVC season
with a five-set loss to Southeast Missouri
(22-25, 19-25, 25-22, 26-24, 15-7).
The Redhawks jumped out two a
two-set lead before allowing the Panthers
to get back into the match with third
and fourth set wins. However, Southeast
Missouri controlled the fifth set, picking
up its first conference win of the season.
In the last month, since the teams first
met, Eastern is 13-10 overall but 7-3 in
the OVC. The Panthers lead west division and have the second best conference
record overall.
Southeast Missouri is 5-5 in conference, placing it third in the west division, but the Redhawks are just 3-8 on
the road this season.
Eastern, at 4-0, is the only OVC team
that is still undefeated at home. Eastern
is also on a season-long four-game win
streak.
Tennessee-Martin, meanwhile, has
the second worst OVC record at 2-8.
The Skyhawks have lost seven consecutive matches.
Three of those matches the Skyhawks
were swept in. They also have a five-set
loss to the OVC’s worst team, Tennessee
Tech. It is Tennessee Tech’s lone conference win. The Skyhawks do not have a
single player in the top 10 in any statistic other than setter Amanda Crask who
is sixth with 9.82 assists per set.
Eastern setter Marah Bradbury ranks
first with 12.32 assists per set. Bradbury
received her fourth OVC Setter of the
Week honor this season.
But Eastern will have to prepare for
Taylor Masterson, Southeast Missouri’s
middle blocker, who is seventh in the
OVC in attack. She is hitting .323 in
conference play.
Masterson is also third in the conference in blocks, with 1.14 per set.
However, Eastern’s own middle blocker, Stephanie Arnold, bests Masterson
in each of those statistics.
Arnold is second in the OVC in hit
percentage with .364. She is also second
in the OVC in blocks with 1.20 per set.
Arnold is coming off her third alltime OVC Offensive Player of the Week
honor. Those are not the only players
the Panthers’ have among the top of the
OVC. Outside hitter Reynae Hutchinson leads the conference with 3.90 kills
per set in conference play.
Eastern will host Tennessee-Martin at
7 p.m. Friday and Southeast Missouri at
5 p.m. Saturday in Lantz Arena.

Panthers to meet last-place OVC team
By Aldo Soto
Assistant Sports Editor | @AldoSoto21
For the Eastern football team, the
Baylor offense is what the Panthers
hope to replicate.
Eastern coach Dino Babers and
players are quick to remind everyone
that the Panthers’ offense is not like
Oregon, it is like Baylor’s.
On Saturday at O’Brien Field, the
Panthers will play Tennessee Tech,
led by coach Watson Brown, the
brother of Mack Brown — coach of
the Texas Longhorns.
Tennessee Tech (3-6, 0-5) has lost
four consecutive games and in the
Ohio Valley Conference the Golden Eagles sit sixth in scoring defense,
and total defense and seventh in
passing defense, allowing 31.2 points
per game, 412.6 yards per game and
235.1 passing yards per game, respectively.

The Golden Eagles will travel to
Charleston, where they will meet the
No. 1 scoring offense in the FCS,
led by the No. 1 ranked quarterback
in passing yards and touchdowns in
Jimmy Garoppolo.
On paper, the noon start is a mismatch for Tennessee Tech, as Eastern entered Saturday winning four
straight OVC games, scoring an average of 48.5 points per game in
those four wins.
But Babers said Tennessee Tech’s
coach’s brother may give the Golden Eagles an insight, as Mack Brown
plays against Baylor every year in the
Big 12 Conference.
“( Watson)’s brother is Mack
Brown from the University of Texas,
he’s probably got more information
about the Baylor offense than anybody in the nation that’s not in the
Big 12,” Babers said. “(Watson) has a
lot of knowledge about our program

and a lot of knowledge about our offense.”
Last year, during Babers’ first year
manning the Eastern program, the
Panthers played Tennessee Tech and
were trailing 10-7 at halftime before
outscoring the Golden Eagles 24-14
in the final two quarters for a 31-24
win.
Babers said he thinks Watson
Brown came up with something on
Saturday to try and slow down the
Panthers’ offense and his brother
might aid that strategy.
“I’m sure they talk a little bit,” Babers said. “Can I vouch for it? No, I
don’t have any evidence or any proof
of that, but if that was my brother
and he was playing somebody like
that, I would give him a call and ask
him some questions.”
But despite Babers knowing that
the Tennessee Tech coach is familiar with the Eastern offense, Ba-

bers said the Panthers have to worry
about themselves when preparing for
the game. He also said once it comes
down adjustments on Saturday the
Panthers will be ready.
“We have a Rolodex offense; we
work everything, and we keep everything greased up,” Babers said.
“Based off of what the defense is
doing, we pull out what we feel we
need to attack the defense. That’s
what we’ll do this week. We’ll work
on us.”
The Eastern defense will also have
to prepare for Tennessee Tech quarterback Darian Stone.
Stone, a junior and dual-threat
quarterback, has scored three rushing touchdowns and four passing
touchdowns in seven games.
Stone played well against Eastern
last season and gave the Panthers’ defense trouble, Babers said.

Team faces must-win match vs. Omaha
By Michael Spencer
Staff Reporter | @tmskeeper
Despite only winning one match this
season, with a victory over Omaha (39-1) on Sunday at Lakeside Field, the
Eastern men’s soccer team can reach
the Summit League postseason tournament.
“It’s massive,” Eastern coach Adam
Howarth said Tuesday. “If we don’t
win that game, then we have no chance
of getting in, so we have to win that
game.”
The Panthers (1-12-2) enter Sunday’s
matchup after a 5-1 defeat at the hands
of Wisconsin in a non-conference midweek match, just four days after falling
by two goals to league-leading Denver.
Eastern has now lost three straight
matches after defeating Oral Roberts
for the team’s only victory of the season
Oct. 20.
Howarth said the match is crucial
because the season will be on the line
against the Mavericks and a win is essential.

Charletta Steele, a junior mathematics major, poses with the other members of GLAM during a practice Wednesday in the University Ballroom for the 7 Deadly Sins fashion
show.

The sew before the show
GLAM designers get ready for '7 Deadly Sins' performance
By Stephanie Markham
Verge Editor

With inspirations ranging from Victoria’s Secret models to junk food wrappers, this year’s
GLAM designers are making sin look more
fashionable than ever.
The fashion show will be at 6 p.m. Friday in
the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King
Jr. University Union. Tickets are $5 in advance
and $7 at the door, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Parkinson’s Action Network.
Having decided on the “7 Deadly Sins”
theme for their fashion show, the executive
members of GLAM had to think of design ideas
to top all of the group’s past shows.
Kendall Jackson, a senior family and consumer sciences major and the president of
GLAM, helped to develop the concepts for the
pieces.

“We sat back and we reviewed all our previous fashion shows, and we were like, ‘We’ve
done this; we’ve done this. Now, what’s the next
level of difficulty that we can present, not only
with our fashion but also with our presentation,’” he said.
He said the main scene of the fashion show
will be the gluttony scene, where the audience
will see the incorporation of chip bags, McDonald's bags, Joey’s menus and Capri Sun juice
boxes.
“We just wanted to do something fun and
innovative because GLAM has always been
known to take things, whether it’s duct tape and
make an outfit, caution tape and make an outfit,” he said. “So we wanted to do something a
little more fun and lively, and we figured: candy
wrappers, colors, fun.”
Bri’an Fields, a senior kinesiology and sports
studies major and the CEO of GLAM, said
an important step in designing the outfits was

working closely with the models, who also help
to co-design.
“It’s usually either me or another exec board
member,” she said “We go to the models’ rooms
and see what they have to offer to piece together
to make a runway ensemble.”
Jackson said he works with the models in
coming up with designs as well.
“The thought process is: I look at the person that I’m supposed to design, and then from
there I figure out what is their best asset, their
best feature, and then I try to accent that in
some type of way,” he said.
Fields said the main challenge in designing
for the show was making sure each outfit fit the
model’s body right, which was particularly difficult for the gluttony-inspired piece.

‘Gravity’ visually stunning;
storyline lacking originality
The latest must-see, feast-forthe-eyes movie is the record-breaking “Gravity.”
According to the Associated Press,
in its debut weekend “Gravity” became the biggest October opening
of all time, earning more than $55
million in North American ticket
sales.
Sandra Bullock stars as Ryan
Stone, a medical engineer on her
first mission into space. She is expectedly a bit nervous, but veteran
astronaut Matt Kowalski (George
Clooney) helps her out.
The two get word that space debris is quickly coming their way.
The warning comes too late, and
the two are now on a mission to
save their lives and get back down
to Earth.
There is no doubt about it; all of
the praise heaped down on over the
technical brilliance of “Gravity” is
well earned.
Seeing this movie in the plain,
“old-fashioned” way will not do. It
just will not have the same impact.
This movie was clearly made
with the intention of being seen in
3-D. IMAX would be even better
if you are willing to spend the extra
money that it often requires.
There are plenty of awe-inspiring
views that will be as close as most
people ever get to seeing the Earth
from space.
This is a movie that one should
see in the theater if possible, as it
will not be the same as seeing it on
our comparatively small television

Jordan Thiede
Verge Reviewer

screens at home.
There are also plenty of times
where you just can’t help but flinch
when space debris comes flying at
you.
At times, we are presented with
point of view shots, like being
placed inside Stone’s helmet.
The audience will feel like they
are moving along with the characters, so much so that if you get motion sickness easily, this may not be
the film for you.
Yes, the looks of “Gravity” are
indeed spectacular, but the same
cannot be said for the story.
It is not bad by any means, but
let’s just say the movie needs the
technical brilliance to really be
something that is worth seeing.
Bullock’s character has gone
through a tragedy in her life. She
has lost her young daughter.
This unnecessary backstory feels
overly sentimental, awkward and
forced, as the audience would rather just get back to the action.
Clooney’s character is going
up for his last trip into space and,
of course, it is not going to go
smoothly for him.

The characters keep facing a
long list of problems. As soon as we
think all is OK, something happens
once again.
These and other happenings
are
rather predictable, but they are still
good enough to keep the story going.
Both of the actors do a fine job,
too. This movie needed high-profile
stars to be successful.
Lesser-known actors may not
have been able to hold the audience’s attention as well, but that is
not a concern with these two A-list
ers.
There are once again debates, as
there always are when films of this
type are successful, over whether
this is the future of cinema.
The audience is not really forced
to think much with this type of
movie. Everything is spelled out for
us.
While technological advances
are never bad things when it comes
to film, this should not become the
norm.
Some movies are just fine presented in the “old-fashioned” way.
Storytelling and acting is bound
to suffer if the technical side is relied on too heavily.
With that being said, it is just
fine to indulge in some eye candy
every now and then, and “Gravity”
is about as good as is gets when it
comes to that.

Hanging in the main gallery of
the Tarble Arts Center, portraits
show the harsh detail of the human face, emphasizing every pore,
hair and wrinkle in a way that reflects human nature in its raw
form.
The Tarble is hosting the photography of the world-renowned
contemporary artist Chuck Close
and the poetry of spoken-word
poet Bob Holman. The display
started last Saturday and will stay
until Dec. 20.
The exhibition, titled “A Couple of Ways of Doing Something,”
is making its final appearance at
the Tarble after a seven-year tour.
Close’s art is displayed in many
art museums, including the Art
Institute of Chicago and the Tate
Modern in London.
Holman is the host of the Poetry Slams at the Nuyorican Poets
Café and currently runs the Bowery Poetry club. His poetry is creatively displayed next to Close’s
photographs in the exhibition.
Close’s massive portraits feature his artist-friends who have
appeared in his paintings. Holman’s poetry is presented in different paragraph forms and sometimes printed vertically instead of
horizontally.
Michael Watts, the director of

the Tarble, said the art might be
more personal because Close uses
people he knows.
He said Close uses a variety of
methods to create his art.
These include some photography techniques that were popular
over a century ago but are rarely
used anymore, such as daguerreotypes and photogravures.
Close often uses one photograph and translates it into several
pieces using these different methods.
Holman’s poetry displayed
next to Close’s photographs presents each piece in a different way.
“It’s sort of an extension of the
whole concept behind the exposition, which is to take the portrait
of a person and then develop different ways of presenting that person’s portrait,” Watts said.
The Tarble is also presenting
Close’s portrait tapestries. The
tapestries were not created using digital print, but by woven
combinations of 17,800 different
threads.
Close’s self-portrait tapestry
is hung in the middle of Tarble’s
exhibit, revealing the black and
white portrait on one side and the
multi-colored threads on the other side.
Watts said the Tarble is able to
feature this exhibition because of
a recent donation from the Tarble
Family Foundation. This donation
was specifically made to pay for a

major artist.
He said this is the first time
the Tarble has had a fund dedicated to bring major artists to the
Tarble. Traveling exhibitions also
cost much more than the previous
Chicagoan artists who the Tarble
usually books, Watts said.
“Chuck Close is one of the
most recognized and universally respected contemporary artists
from the U.S.,” Watts said.
He said people do not need to
understand everything about art
to enjoy it.
“People seem to think you have
to be really conversant with contemporary art to be able to look at
it and get anything out of it, but
that’s not really true,” Watts said.
“With anything, you get more out
of it the more you know about it.”
Watts said the biggest takeaway from the exhibit is realizing
how the use of different mediums
in art affect our reactions toward
each piece.
“The most obvious take-away
from 'A Couple of Ways of Doing Something' is considering
how our reactions are effected,
both emotionally and intellectually, when looking at the same photographic image presented in very
different sizes and media,” Watts
said.

they were going to be there for a
week and that they would visit the
Badlands National Park in South
Dakota and Yellowstone National
Park in Wyoming.
As far as a game plan was concerned, the two did not really have
one; they were just going to explore
nature and film what they experienced.
This is how Craig, a climatologist and geology-geography professor, started to create his eight-part
documentary series “Expedition
Nature’s Realm.”
This series was aired on PBS
from 2007 to 2008, and the second
episode, “The Anthropocene Era,”
is going to be one of the six documentaries featured in this year’s
Embarras Valley Film Festival.
Craig said his documentary is
different because it answers the basic
questions people have about nature
in a simple but philosophical way.
“Kevin kept an electronic journal while we were on this trip,”
Craig said. “In one entry, he had
this quote, ‘co-existence with nature that is Earth,’ and once I read
that, I knew that is what this series
is going to be about.”
Each part of the series explains a
different aspect of how humans and

The gluttony scene is based on
the desire for the overconsumption
of food, and the ensemble is constructed of recycled items like snack
wrappers and soda cans, she said.
“I found that really challenging for gluttony because that actually molds to your body form,” she
said. “So of course you’ll need a little bit of room to move in it, and
I found that hard because it constricted them.”
Fields said they fixed that problem by having the models wear the
outfits while they were being made
and letting them break the outfits
in.
Jackson said there are a lot of
challenges to being a designer that
people might not realize, and there
is a lot to learn by doing fashion
shows.

nature coexist.
The festival features topics each
year that are relevant to Embarras
Valley, which includes much of East
Central Illinois.
This year’s theme is documentaries, and each chosen documentary
is by filmmakers who have attended
Eastern or are residents of Illinois.
Kit Morice, the co-director for
the festival, helped to start the festival in 2004 when she put on the
Gregg Toland Day festival in celebration of the Charleston-born cinematographer who was well known
for “Citizen Kane” and “Wuthering
Heights.”
“After it was over, people kept
coming up to me asking when next
year’s festival was going to be and
what theme it was going to be,”
Morice said.
She said that gave her the idea
to have others, so the following year
she officially started the Embarras
Valley Film Festival.
The festival will include several other documentaries as well as a
showcase of student-made documentaries.
“778 Bullets,” directed by Angela Aguayo, follows an incident involving Southern Illinois University.
The state and local police of
Carbondale shot 778 bullets into
an off-campus rental house where
university students lived; some of
these students were assumed to be
associated with the local Black Panther Party.
“Between Two Rivers” was
filmed, edited and directed by art-

ists Jacob Cartwright and Nick Jordan. This documentary is set in
Cairo, Ill. depicting the community’s major economic, social and environmental troubles.
“Wall of Sound: A Look Inside
the House of Records,” directed by
David Gracon, a communication
studies professor, explores an independent record store in Eugene,
Oregon called the House of Records.
It has been around since 1972,
and the film looks at the store’s
struggle to stay active and in competition with digital downloading.
“Piedra Roja,” directed by Gary
Fritz, is a documentary that combines footage taken at the Red
Rock Music Festival during 1970s
along with recent reviews with the
participants.
Following the screenings of student-made stop motion and documentary films, there will be a preview of the film “Confidence Man.”
“Confidence Man” is directed by
Bob Streit and produced by Stace
England. This film explores the
life and troubles of Hugh DeNeal,
who is the co-founder and primary
songwriter for The Woodbox Gang,
an acoustic band based in Southern
Illinois.
It features not only the band but
also the families of the band and
fans. Postal Inspector interviews
and concert footage will also be
shown in the film.

“You learn a lot about the fabrics. You see this fabric that you
think is beautiful and it’s gorgeous,
but it doesn’t have that elasticity to
it,” he said. “So sometimes the design that you have in mind just
won’t work for the scene simply because it doesn’t’ stretch the right
way.”
Jackson said the hardest part of
designing was finding fabrics that
complimented the models’ body
structures, especially in Charleston
area where supplies are limited.
“All you have is Walmart, but
you make it work,” he said.
Danielle S. Davis, a senior general studies major and the technology manager for GLAM, said most
of the props were made from recycled materials like cardboard boxes,
tissue paper and wood pieces.
“We are college students, so we
didn’t want to spend a whole lot of

money on unnecessary things when
we can use things that are right
around us,” she said.
Davis said she watched other
shows for inspiration and thought
about ways to take those ideas to
the next level.
“I always think of things that are
a lot different from the norm,” she
said. “So if I see something, like if
I’m watching a show or I see something on TV, I’m like, ‘Hey that’s a
good idea, but let's put a twist to it
so that it’s not boring.”
Although the gluttony outfit is
the most extreme, Fields said her
second favorite category is greed because the outfits are “sophisticated
and sleek and slimming.”
“That scene is particularly an allblack scene, and the outfit that the
main character wears, her outfit is
just as crazy as the main character
in gluttony’s,” she said.

England and the Salt Kings followed by a screening of "Confidence Man," 2012 (92 minutes)

For the lust scene, the designers
were going for more sex appeal similar to a Victoria’s Secret model, but
less explicit, she said.
“It’s a little bit more modest
than Victoria’s Secret, but along
the lines of playful and sexy,” Fields
said.
Jackson said he also he also designed wings that are similar to
Victoria’s Secret wings, but with a
“GLAM twist.”
He said people have compared
his style of designing to the show
“Project Runway.���
“I’m the type of designer that
takes random pieces and put them
together, so avant-garde kind of
style,” he said.
Jackson said he takes inspiration
from “Project Runway” and from
the models’ physiques, and he also
likes to express himself through design.

He said fashion and design go
hand in hand as forms of expression.
“Either I’m expressing it vocally (or) I’m expressing it non-vocally,
and I think that’s what the fashion
industry is about,” he said. “I don’t
have to say anything; I can let my
outfit speak for itself.”
Davis said she compares designing to poetry as a form of expression.
“Whenever you design something, you put your heart and soul
into it, and it’s the same thing with
a poetry piece,” she said. “You take
a piece of yourself and put it out on
paper or put it out on Facebook.
It’s the same thing when you design
something.”
